Xie Ling left early in the morning because she didn't want to have too much involvement with Shiqi.
Life is like this, we meet by chance and then keep moving forward. If we are destined to meet again, we will meet again.
Liujiang was a county town under Wei Zhaoshengjing.
Although it is a county town, its prosperity is no less than that of Tonghua City, and it even seems to surpass Tonghua City.
The streets are bustling with people, cars and horses are flowing like water, and the prosperous scene is evident.
Xie Ling was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, finding everything new and interesting.
Last time she was in a hurry in Tonghua City, this was the first time she took a serious look at the city outside Beijiang.
The street where Xie Ling is now located specializes in selling rouge, powder, clothes and jewelry.
Looking around, almost all of them were women, either in groups of three or five, or followed by maids and old women.
The girls were waving round fans, wearing cloaks and small jackets, with plum blossom-shaped hairpins on their brows, looking pretty and lively.
The whole street was filled with fragrance and laughter.
Xie Ling, a "man" dressed in gray, was obviously out of place among the people.
Thinking of Lu Linglong, Xie Ling still gritted her teeth and walked into the most crowded jewelry store.
She has come all the way here, so I should bring her some gifts.
Although there were quite a few in the space, they were not as good as the ones she had carefully selected.
This jewelry store was similar to modern ones, with rows of wooden cabinets filled with all kinds of brocade boxes, and each piece of jewelry was packed in a brocade box.
Head ornaments, pearl hairpins, earrings, necklaces, jade bracelets... everything is available.
As soon as she walked in, a waiter came over to serve her.
"Sir, what do you want to see?"
Xie Ling glanced around casually, "Look around, where is the most expensive and exquisite one here?"
The waiter smiled and said, "It's on the second floor, please follow me, sir."
Xie Ling followed him up to the second floor.
The second floor was even more luxurious, with landscape paintings hanging on all four walls, and the jewelry in the brocade box was obviously of a higher grade.
Xie Ling casually walked around but still didn't find anything she liked.
Judging from the level of decoration of this store, there should be treasures inside.
Xie Ling turned around, "Anything else?"
The waiter raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had thought he was a poor scholar, but he didn't expect him to be such a connoisseur.
"Sir, please follow me to the box."
Xie Ling walked around the boxes and finally saw some suitable ones.
Her eyes turned to the branch with twin crabapple flowers in the corner.
It is lifelike, fresh and tender, with tiny pearls on the end, which make crisp sounds when shaken.
When the waiter saw her looking at it for a few more seconds, he quickly praised her again.
"Sir, this is the latest style that has come down from Shengjing, and it was made by Zhang Jiuniang's disciples themselves.
Spring is coming soon. Wearing this hairpin and watching the crabapple blossoms sway, you will be so beautiful. "
Xie Ling was originally hesitating between this and another white magnolia hairpin, but after hearing what the waiter said, she instantly felt that the crabapple one was the best looking.
He immediately said, "Pack it up."
After saying this, Xie Ling's gaze still lingered on the white magnolia hairpin, a little reluctant to let go.
After hesitating for only a second, Xie Ling waved her hand and said, "Pack both!"
Linglong is pretty and both of them suit her.
Xie Ling could already imagine her smiling with curved eyebrows.
Worth it!
The waiter was also a business man, and thought Xie Ling was buying it for her sweetheart, so he flattered her: "Sir, you will stay with this girl till old age."
Xie Ling pretended to be profound, "Hmm."
I was already laughing in my heart.
Xie Ling came down with the two pearl hairpins and attracted many glances from the girls in the store.
These two hairpins are so exquisite.
"Sir, the total is two hundred taels of gold."
Xie Ling's eyes widened. "What? Gold?"
The waiter smiled and said, "We also have a store in Shengjing at Qingyao Pavilion. All the jewelry in our store starts at one tael of gold."
Xie Ling smacked her lips.
Two hundred taels of gold is equivalent to 2.8 million in modern times.
It was indeed Shengjing, and she had bought an ancient luxury item.
Xie Ling didn't bargain for the price. It would not be nice to bargain when giving someone a gift.
When the waiter saw that Xie Ling really had two hundred taels, he smiled even more brightly.
The shopkeeper didn't change much, his expression was indifferent, probably because he had seen a lot.
There were many wealthy guests in Shengjing, and he could meet more than a dozen guests like Xie Ling a day.
The shopkeeper lowered his head and carefully wrapped the brocade box for Xie Ling. Finally, he pinned a lifelike peony with twined flowers on the cover.
"Sir, these two hairpins are made by Jiu Niang, and the flowers wrapped around them are a symbol. If they are damaged within three months, you can come to our store or Qingyao Pavilion in Shengjing to have us repair them."
Xie Ling was shocked. Did chain stores and after-sales service exist in ancient times?
It seems that she is narrow-minded. Business development in this era is still very prosperous.
A small jewelry store already has a brand effect, not to mention other industries.
Xie Ling spent so much money just to buy two hairpins.
The people of Sinan may not be able to earn this much even if they farm for a hundred years.
She must vigorously develop business when she returns!
Modern cosmetics, cotton textile technology, chain milk tea, various novel restaurants, take-out, advertising...
Get it all done!
Not only in Sinan, her target is the Seven Kingdoms!
Make money! The economic base determines the superstructure, and money is the primary productive force!
Sinan is still too small. Compared with Tonghua City or Shengjing, it is like an ant.
Only when the economy develops can we have the confidence to recruit troops.
After pondering for a moment, thinking that he was going to Shengjing, Xie Ling quickly asked: "Boss, does Liujiang have a carriage to Shengjing?"
